NATO is creating a series of "land corridors" that would be used to rush U.S. troops across Europe to confront Russian forces in the event of a major conflict with Moscow, The Telegraph reported on June 4.
Warnings that the Kremlin could attack a NATO country in the near future have increased in urgency in recent months.
Eirik Kristoffersen, Norway's top general, said the military alliance only has two to three years to prepare, Bloomberg reported on June 3.
"At one point someone said it'll take 10 years (before Russia reconstitutes its offensive capacity), but I think we're back to less than 10 years because of the industrial base that is now running in Russia," Kristoffersen said.
At a NATO meeting in Vilnius last year, NATO leaders agreed to develop new plans to ensure the alliance could provide "300,000 troops at high readiness."
According to The Telegraph, U.S. troops and armor would land at one of five ports in the Netherlands, Greece, Italy, Turkey or Norway from where they would travel through land corridors to NATO countries bordering Ukraine.
These land corridors would be free of bureaucratic local restrictions which in the past have held up the movement of troops and armor, leaving them stuck at borders.
Previous NATO plans only allowed for U.S. troops to land at Rotterdam in the Netherlands, but Ukraine's experience of long-range missile attacks since the launch of the full-scale invasion has prompted a rethink.
Expanding the number of ports and having multiple land corridors would mean if one was hit, others would still be available to use.
"Everything is created in a way so the necessary resilience exists – robustness, reserves and also redundancies," Lt Gen Alexander Sollfrank, the chief of NATO’s Joint Support Enabling Command, told The Telegraph.

They better be tunnels like Hamas and the Pali Terrorists use.
The carrier is the oil tanker for the carrier group. That plus all the aviation fuel - it would go up like the HMS Hood.
WWI had ground to a stalemate. There was going to be a peace treaty like in all of Europe’s previous titanic conflicts.
But Wilson tricked the US into getting involved and the consequences were disastrous.
I blame the French for WWI, it was their alliance with Russia that caused it to spread. It should have just been between Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia. Who won, should have been of no consequence to Britain and the US.
Yes bad tactics, Biden is pResident, the US Swamp Bureaucracy and alphabet agencies are generally Corrupt and Treasonous, and the US Military is full of Homos and Trannys.
That pretty much guarantees the accuracy of this report regardless of source.
Looks like the media and Nato are trying to prepare ehe world for WW3.....one step at a time.
Like Germany said they would never send armament to Ukraine...then they sent helmets, then guns, then tanks and now figher jets.
Just like WW1 and WW2 slowly built up.
These “corridors” will never matter because the transportation ships will never get there in the first place.
We have a terrorist group conducting a naval blockade of the Gulf of Aden using drones.
Scale that up to the capabilities of Russia, and I sure do not want to be on one of those troop ships heading to Rotterdam, or whatever.
There isn’t going to be a NATO much longer. Even if there is the US won’t be A member. 🙄
You dont think we’ve owned them for the past 80 years?
We dont need their territories. We have their money. Almost all of it.
My Son is being deployed to Poland late this summer. I am sure he will be spending some time in that area.
“We’ll have to use Marines. They’re not as woke as the Army.”
The current lunatic Generals and Commandant Berger took away almost all the artillery, ALL of the USMC tanks, and severely cut the Cobras and fixed wing. And woke abounds, complete with women in the Infantry.
Don’t sell us short! Get us Greenland and some islands!
May the Lord bless him and keep him safe.
Sometimes you think you’re not in a war zone, and Viola you got incoming.

The Marines did not have a choice.
From what I see their training on the videos I've seen on the internet, it's not as "watered down". But I'm a civilian so I could be wrong.
We're not fighting the Russians in Ukraine.
Effing Biden and the Ukrainians want a global war so bad. A pox on them.
Iceland is nice this time of year….
Almost forgot, the Marines just gave up all their combat engineers breaching and bridging capabilities. ALL of them.
I’m not even seeing how he is a tyrant. He stands for elections more honest that ours. People there are free. And as for the Ukraine war, he worked directly and explicitly for over a decade to prevent it. He did not mislead us but told us precisely what Russia’s red lines were and why. He repeatedly asked for negotiations on the issue. Again, we flipped him the finger. And we did it with maximum rudeness. We told him we would not discuss NATO with him at all, and would only discuss what we deemed Russia’s needs. Nothing more.
We flipped him the finger hard and then charged on with our plan, which included a modern nazi regime on his border. And now we are shocked and he is a “tyrant” for backing up his clearly stated warnings.
I just don’t see any tyrant, just someone who is reading the room and knows the score and set his sails not to get run over by Globohomo.
